Sam shook his head. �I�m fine. But I got a call early this morning�early meaning about an hour after I got to bed which would have made it about three-thirty or so�from my father�s attorney in California. The personal lawyer, not the corporate lawyer� or, legal team, really. Anyway, it was about three thirty here, which would make it half past twelve there, assuming I�m remembering time zones correctly�and I may not be because I got less than forty minutes of sleep last night and I spent most of my day going over a proposal that I swear is leftover from one of Leo�s �Cheese� days.�
�What happened in California? Is your dad alright?� Donna pressed. She knew that Sam had been working on a strange proposal all day�Josh had mentioned something while they were working through lunch�but she really didn�t care what happened at work because the way Sam was rambling on was really starting to scare her.
�My father and his mistress were in a car accident last night� or this morning� either way, it was bad. The car�s a write off, they both broke limbs, she cracked two ribs, he�s got a major concussion. They�ll heal; they�ve got maids and can hire in-home nurses if they really need the extra help. That�s not the big surprise that I got. The big surprise was that, not only did my father have a mistress stashed in Santa Monica, but he also had a daughter with her�with Theresa. That�s the mistress� name, by the way. I�m not sure if I ever told you that. I�m not entirely sure I knew that myself before this morning. Anyway, I have a sister. She�s twenty seven, and I�m pretty sure she�s the reason that the affair lasted for as long as it has.�
�Wow,� Donna said, shocked not only by the information she had just been hit with, but also with how fast it had come out.
�Yeah, do that for a couple more hours and you�ll be halfway to where I am right now,� Sam said.
�This is� you have� how did� wow��
Sam nodded. �Shayla�that�s my� my sister�s name�Shayla was driving and she got the worst of it. She�s in and out of consciousness, her pelvis is cracked, multiple broken bones, and the doctors aren�t ruling out brain damage.�
�Oh my god. Sam, you have to go see your family.�
�I�ve got a flight tomorrow evening.�
Donna nodded, taking that information down for further notice. �How are they all doing, other than medically?� she asked.
�I dunno. When I talked to Petie he didn�t know much and I haven�t had a chance to call back today.�
�Petie?� Donna smirked.
